Upgrade Veeam v11 to v12 on a Huawei Server

HelloWe have a physical Huawei server (5288 v5) with Windows 2019 and Veeam installed. Since the announcement that the Veeam plugin is no longer supported, we have uninstalled the plugin and removed the storage in the Veeam admin center. Now we want to update to version 12, but there is an error message in the configuration checks. This is “unsupported Huawei Storage system”. We're supposed to remove something first, but I don't know what it should be. We have already tried to virtualize the server to another one, but the error persists. Does anyone perhaps know the cause?Many thanks and kind regardsThomas

Exagrid storage

hi Veeam CommunityWe need a repository of about 100 terabytes and a company has offered us exagrid storage.Do you have any experience in this field, and if we don't consider the cost, which storages provide us with the best performance and security?This storage has good ransomware protection and deduplication capabilities.I would be very happy to hear your experiences with storages

Veeam Calculators

Are there any other advanced backup storage calculators kind of like the one Veeam has?Calculator - VM (veeam.com)I’m trying to get a good estimation of storage needs. Don’t get me wrong, you can probably never have enough storage 😂 but with that comes budget. The one from Veeam I’m using total amount of space taken by current VMs in the datacenter. It doesn’t take into account growth (additional VMs) or reduction (consolidation/removal of VMs). Our SAN is right around 90TB but remote datacenters have local stroages for VMs at about 3TB and 1.5TB respectively.  Do I size based off SAN/local array storage?

Quick way to see last backup time of each PC

Hi, I have a protection group with 8 PC’s.  The PC’s are not always on and so sometimes they miss the backup schedule.  Is there a way to see the last successful backup of each PC without having to drill down on each one?  Thank you!

Veeam for Mac Agent - feedback/experiences

Hi all,Relatively new to the community; been working with Veeam a while now, though!After finally sorting some bits out, I’ve built out a home lab to play with Veeam, but also use my own data as a way to gather experience about day-to-day use of Veeam (I am an architect, so naturally, I never touch the product in anger 🙄 - hoping to fixing that!)I’m loosely aware that the Veeam for Mac agent is relatively new, so while I understand there will be bugs, my current experience has been fairly frustrating (I don't want to treat this as a support-request post, so wont go into specifics). What is your experience of using the Mac agent so far?

invalid credentials or connection settings

HelloI have 4 VM on 4 different physical servers with Veeam Backup&Replication community edition v12.1.56.In my system, I have a VM under debian 12 which is used as Postfix SMTP relay for all my servers. Internally, everything goes through port 25 and all my servers send mail to this relay without identification or password. The relay then sends everything to my dedicated office365 mailbox.In less than 1 day, 2 of my Veeam VMs stopped sending me mail.So every time I run the test mail, I get the message: Unable to connect to SMTP server because of invalid credentials or connection settings.I've compared the smtp configuration with that of the 2 servers that are still working, apparently I haven't seen any anomalies and everything is identical. Even firewall configurations are perfectly identical between servers:SMTP Server (Basic authentication)SMTP server: IP of my SMTP serverFrom: mail address of my server adminTo: my mail addressport 25timeout 100000The only difference is that th

"Cannot find EFI boot manager entry for EFI System Partition"

Hello,I am encountering a warning on my Veeam backups that Veeam "Cannot find EFI boot manager entry for EFI System Partition". The backups are otherwise successful.I am running Manjaro Linux, which I realize is not formally supported. I used Veeam successfully some time ago without issues, experimented with other backup solutions for a while, then came back to Veeam because honestly nothing works as well or as simply as it does. The last time I used Veeam, I was running a 5.x version, and I’ve since started using 6.1.0.1498.Here is some more detailed information about my issue:Specific Problem: When performing a Full System backup, Veeam will complain that it "Cannot find EFI boot manager entry for EFI System Partition GUID” followed by the GUID of my system’s EFI partition.

Hello,third and last part of my article where I wanted to provide some information about immutability flowchart for HPE StoreOnce and use it with Veeam.Here are the previous posts:​Now I want to conclude with the workflow for HPE Dual Authorization and what is needed to consider when you want to complete a secure environment and minimize the chanches of data exfiltration.DOUBLE AUTHORIZATION WORKFLOW The following dual authorization process applies within the immutable backup infrastructure built with Veeam and HPE StoreOnce.Backup Admin submits one of the dual-authorization tasks to Veeam/HPE StoreOnce infrastructure.The user submits the request by specifying the tasks they wish to execute.The Security Officer gets involved if the request falls into the category of protected actions below:    Enabling or disabling dual authorization     Modifying the catalyst store     Deleting the catalyst store     System date and time settings     Creating, editing, and deleting OS role users

After v12 Upgrade Agent Backup Job Of Veeam Server Fails

I’ve recently gone through the process of upgrading my Veeam implementation from v11 to v12. Everything has upgraded correctly and I’ve even managed to get a hardened repository server upgraded successfully. My problem is that although all configured jobs are quite happily running and successfully completing under v12, the physical Veeam server running as an agent backup job fails. This was working previously before the upgrade. Is there any solution to this issue.

HPE StoreOnce Immutability - Technical and legal aspects - Part 2

Hi all, I would like to continue talking about the technical aspects and authorization workflow for dual authentication related to the use of HPE StoreOnce and its immutability. Following the description of the less technical part covered in the previous article, we will look at some configuration aspects. TECHNICAL PRACTICES ON STOREONCEBelow we go on to describe the technical procedures for using immutability functions on StoreOnce.​​​​​​​REQUIREMENTSBefore proceeding to the configurations, it is good to reiterate what are the prerequisites necessary for the proper use of all the components needed to use immutability with StoreOnce.Minimum firmware version required: 4.3.2 (better 4.3.6 for MFA) Creation of user accounts with specific roles Two-factor authentication Enabling and configuring Dual Authorization Type of operations allowed The "Maximum ISV Controlled Data Retention" parameter must be set to 365000 in the Catalyst Store configuration.
